Oh, and that her parents refuse to allow her to live with them because they're 'burnt out' and they think that unless she hits rock bottom, she'll never realize how serious her need for help actually is.

PLEASE STOP POSTING ABOUT AMANDA BYNES!
I didn't read this post, nor will I, but I don't know how else to attempt to reach you Perez.
Will you PLEASE stop writing posts about Amanda Bynes. This young girl is suffering from mental illness and has a long and difficult road of recovery ahead of her. Out of respect for her, her road to recovery and for all the other people who suffer from mental illness I implore you to stop posting about her. It is none of anyone's business how she is paying for anything, nor are these posts helping to spread awareness about and help reduce the stigma around mental illness. Please stop exploiting and scrutinizing her life. Although you may be a celebrity blogger, you are also in a position to influence people. It's a shame you're not using it in a positive way to create awareness about things that are actually important in this world.

I guess her parents really don't get it yet. I would take her in, in a ny minute. I hope she finds her way…so talented and I'm sure can still have a future. Hang in there Amanda. There are people out here who believe in you.

Good for her parents. The way you deal with an addict and/or someone with mental illness is by ceasing to enable them and continue to show their support of her in other ways. No one can force another to get help, people only get clean or help when it is their decision and doing. Unfortunately, it sometimes takes someone hitting rock bottom to realize their quality of life is not getting any better by living this way. It is not like she is going to have to live in a homeless shelter like millions of other people who are in a position similar to hers. Hopefully she can rise above and realize that her parents just want the best for her and for her to be happy and healthy.

"My metabolism actually changed like crazy this year. I have Hashimoto's disease. It's a thyroid disease, and it's now been two years since taking the medication for it, so for the VS show I didn't want to lose any more weight, I just want to have muscles in the right place, and if my butt can get a little perkier, then that's good."
